Samsung Anyplace Induction Stovetop

Europe loves induction cooking, for good reason. An induction stovetop never gets hot, just the stuff in the pot or pan – I saw a demo where a liter of water came to a boil in less than three minutes, even though there was a sheet of paper towel between the "hob" (the cooking element) and the pot. Induction uses half the power or a regular electric stove. Induction tops clean up as easy as a countertop. This Samsung Anyplace induction top, which will be available in Europe sometime next year, does away with hobs – the pot or pan can be placed anywhere, even slide around while the food inside continues to cook. I'll have more on the wonders of induction cooking – and why it's so expensive in the U.S. – next week.
